Roofing in Chickasaw, AL
Chickasaw has the oldest housing stock of any town on this site. The median unit was built in 1963, and roughly 1,895 of its 2,680 units, about seventy-one percent, went up before 1970. Some 844 date from the 1960s, 561 from the 1950s, 296 from the 1940s and 194 from before 1940. Nothing about a roof here is routine.
The city adopted the 2018 International Building and Residential Codes, along with the 2018 fire, fuel gas, mechanical, plumbing, property maintenance, existing building and swimming pool codes and the 2017 National Electrical Code, by resolution on 19 November 2019 under the state's technical code adoption statute. Fees are set by a separate city fee schedule that is not part of the codified ordinance.
So the fee is a phone call rather than a lookup, and it is worth making the call. Mobile County Inspection Services, five miles west, has no jurisdiction inside Chickasaw. Its published remit is unincorporated Mobile County, and a contractor who files your re-roof with the county has filed it with the wrong office.
On 6 May 2022 a narrow, high-end EF1 touched down at the Greer's and the Family Dollar on Broad Street. The tornado lifted the roof off the Family Dollar and the roof then collapsed back down onto the building, destroying it. Damage continued northeast to Texas Street. That is a roof-uplift failure, documented, in this town, on a commercial building.
Five months later, on 29 October 2022, a weak tornado with peak winds of 75 mph began in Pine Grove along Threemile Creek and moved north across Moffett Road, taking out dead trees and large limbs. Chickasaw's events are frequent and small, which is exactly the pattern that wears out an old roof rather than removing it.
About 891 of 2,305 occupied units still heat with utility gas, and none of the housing stock is manufactured. Gas means flues, and flues on a 1950s or 1960s house mean storm collars and counterflashing that were installed once, sixty years ago, and have been caulked over ever since. We open those up rather than sealing them again.
The shipbuilding-era cottages in the Shipyard Village historic district carry the specific problem of very short rafter tails. There is often no soffit to vent through. Where that is true we intake at the roof edge instead, and we will show you the net free area arithmetic on both sides before we sell you a ridge vent that has nothing feeding it.
Roofing work we do in Chickasaw, AL
Mobile Roof Pros covers the same range of work in Chickasaw that we do in Mobile — nothing is carved out because the address is a few miles up the road:
- Wind Damage Roofing — Wind is a genuine peril on this coast and we do not soft-pedal it. A tropical system does not have to remove a roof to ruin it.
- Roof Inspections — An inspection here should start in the attic. What a roof looks like from a ladder tells you about granules and age.
- Asphalt Shingle Roofs — Asphalt covers most of the housing stock here, and the differences that matter are not the color on the sample board. They are mat weight, the nailing zone, the sealant strip, and what the shingle is laid on top of.
- Metal Roofing — Metal earns its price here on slope and water volume, not on looks. A standing seam panel carries an entire plane's runoff in continuous lengths with no horizontal laps, which is exactly what a high-rainfall roof wants from its covering.
- Tile Roofing — Tile is uncommon in Mobile and that is worth saying plainly. Most tile work we do is repair and relay on houses that already have it, plus the occasional new install on a structure that was framed from the start to carry the load.
- Flat & Low-Slope Roofing — Low slope is where rainfall volume becomes an engineering problem instead of a detailing one. Water that a steep roof sheds in seconds sits on a shallow plane and finds every seam, so drainage design comes before any conversation about material.

About Chickasaw, AL — and why local matters here
Chickasaw sits in Mobile County with a population of roughly 6,457, close enough to Mobile that crews move between the two constantly. Local landmarks and corridors residents know well include the Chickasaw Shipyard Village Historic District, the Gulf Shipbuilding Corporation yard.
Local knowledge is not a marketing line here. Chickasaw properties share soil, weather, permit rules and construction eras with the rest of Mobile County, and a roofing contractor who works the area weekly already knows what fails locally and what holds up. That is the difference between a bid and an accurate bid.
